In its most basic sense, participation or being participative, can be defined as partaking in, and influencing, processes, decisions and activities (adapted from UNICEF, 2001). Therefore, both a contextualized process as well as a core life skill, participation is an action of empowerment in relation to the individual and the community. Consequently, being participative, which is interlinked with to the core life skill of creativity, is the contrary to remaining passive at school, at work, and, above all, in society. More than being engaged, learners and individuals who are participative, especially in MENA, actively contribute to a democratic society, by the people, thus exercising their human rights.
